It figures. After covering every NJ Marshal that I have collected I managed to obtain another one.
This one came from across "the pond." I have had some dealings with the seller over the years, and was very happy to see this item offered.
It is from LEONIA. This is a North Jersey Community which seems to have one border close to the New Jersey Turnpike. From any spot in town one could get on the highway and be in NYC in minutes.
The place is a Borough form of government and was born in the early 1890's. Today there are just under 9000 residents.
This badge was made in the early 1900's. It has the old style "C" catch on the rear. Up front is an old style State Seal. Beneath it is a number box carrying the number "6." I am pleased to give it a nice home under glass in my museum.
